The Starke County Election Board continues preparing for the upcoming North Judson election. The public test of the voting machines will take place Thursday, September 26 at 9:00 a.m. in the second floor meeting room in the Starke County Courthouse.

Clerk Bernadette Welter-Manuel told the rest of the election board Thursday that the machines are ready to go. “Microvote has brought back our equipment,” she said. “They did the update on them. The machines came back yesterday, and they programmed them yesterday while everybody was already here. So the machines are programmed, ready for the public test.”

Board members also reviewed the ballot one more time for any errors.

They also spent more than a half hour setting the hours for the two absentee voting workers. In-person early voting doesn’t start until October 17, but Welter-Manuel said they’ll have to start working next Friday, to handle any mail-in ballot requests that may come in. A training session for those workers will be held next Thursday.

Early voting hours for North Judson’s General Election were finalized by the Starke County Election Board Thursday.

Board members have established a satellite in-person absentee voting location at the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library. Polls will be open there on Thursday October 17 and Thursday, October 24 from noon to 6:00 p.m.; Friday, October 18 and Friday, October 25 from noon to 5:00 p.m.; plus Saturday, October 19 and Saturday, October 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Voters can also cast their ballots early at the Starke County Courthouse in Knox on Saturday, November 2 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Monday, November 4 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Voters meeting certain requirements may also request to vote by mail by contacting the Starke County Clerk’s Office.

Clerk Bernadette Welter-Manuel told the election board Thursday that North Judson had offered the use of its town hall as an early voting site, but she recommended using the library since it’s already open when voting will be held, among other reasons.

Election Day voting will be held Tuesday, November 5 from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the North Judson-Wayne Township Fire Station or North Judson-San Pierre High School, depending on a voter’s precinct. More information can be found at IndianaVoters.com.
